Summary/Abstract: Augustinus was an Italian musician previously known to musicologists only by his first name and from a single source, written in May 1598, when King Sigismund III was setting off for Sweden with selected courtiers. A will kept at the AGAD, Municipal Records of Old Warsaw 11, fols. 145v–146, drawn up on 17 June 1598, includes a distorted version of the musician’s surname. This provided a clue for further research, which led to his identification as a singer who had worked in Padua and Prague before arriving in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
